U.S. Army Capt. Kelsey Estrada, a psychiatric/behavioral health nurse assigned to the 167th Medical Augmentation Detachment, 30th Medical Brigade, provides medical aid during Sword 26 casualty staging area training at Drawsko Combat Training Center, Poland, May 12, 2026. The training tests Soldiers’ ability to assess casualties, apply lifesaving care and move patients under realistic field conditions.
Although NATO allied medical practitioners commonly use a CSU, the U.S. Army has not previously trained with the use of a CSU during medical missions. During Sword 26, 30th Med Bde is practicing this innovation to gain lessons learned during a simulated LSCO flight as well as enhance interoperability with NATO medical allies.
